Manage Channel Subscriptions

This lesson covers subscriptions and subscribers of a channel. We'll perform the following operations:

• Check if a user has subscribed to a channel.

• Make a user subscribe to a specific channel.

• Get all the subscribers of a channel.

• Make a user unsubscribe from a specific channel.

We’ll use the two endpoints below to achieve these tasks:

• We’ll use the {base_url}/users/{userID}/channels/{channelID} endpoint to check, subscribe, and unsubscribe from a channel.

• We’ll use the {base_url}/channels/{channelID}/users endpoint to get all subscribers of a channel.

We have some channel names with their respective owner (user ID) in the table below. More details about channels in a category and their information are found in this ...
